We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About

Outside, the home enjoys both front and rear garden space, with the rear garden laid to gravel and paving for easy upkeep.
A large shed offers additional storage, while the extended garage comfortably accommodates two vehicles.
There is also a separate parking space for one car, and notably, the wide side plot could offer scope for further development, subject to planning permission.
